drooler

Teething infant, often

A drooler is someone or something that drools—lets saliva flow from the mouth.

The term often applies to babies, sleeping adults, or dogs eyeing food.

Figuratively, a drooler is someone who desires something intensely or slavishly: The car show was packed with droolers.

Used dismissively, it can mean someone lacking intelligence or self-control.
